Saddened to hear of Archbishop Desmond Tutu’s death. He was a driving force behind ending apartheid in South Africa and a worthy winner of the Nobel Peace Prize.
My thoughts are with the people of South Africa 🇿🇦.

We have shown Putin that his invasion has consequences. In addition to one of the world’s biggest sanctions packages against Russia, we are ratcheting up pressure by introducing emergency legislation to go faster and harder on Putin’s enablers.
They will have nowhere to hide.

I’m a low-tax Conservative.
I believe the way we get to greater economic growth is through lower taxes, less regulation, investing in skills and attracting business to this country.
You can’t tax your way to growth.
